“…The objective of the current study was to test the effects of different HDACi on ethanol intake in two rat lines selectively bred for high ethanol-consumption.MethodAdult naïve male high alcohol drinking line 1 (HAD1) or alcohol-preferring (P) rats were given continuous 24-h, 3-bottle, free-choice access to 15%, 30% ethanol concurrently with water for 8 weeks prior to testing entinostat (selective HDAC1i and HADC3i, 0, 1.25, 2.5, 5 mg/kg, i. p.), quisinostat (pan HADCi, 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 mg/kg, i. p.), or tubastatin-A (selective HDAC6i, 0, 1.25, 2.5, 5 mg/kg, i. p.) over 4-5 consecutive days.ResultsIn HAD1 rats, entinostat reduced 2-, 4-, and 24-h ethanol intake across the 2nd – 5th test days; while, in P rats, entinostat’s effect was primarily seen at the 24-h time-point, at the highest dose and only across three test days. …”
